Editorial Reviews

Metal Edge

Musically, A Dozen Furies come on like a twin guitared, more epic take on their former Dallas bretheren, Pantera.

Product Description

Produced by D. Braxton Henry, the album is an explosive collection of propulsive metalcore complete with visceral death-derived change-ups, gripping hooks and an all out brutally uncompromising sound. Frontman Bucky Garrett’s caustic duel vocal stylings yield a ferocious blend of melody and rabid fervor that is not easily matched, while guitarists Marc Serrano and Joey Turner pack a violent punch as they shred through each track with a sense of urgency. Backed by Keith Reber and Mike Miller’s frantic rhythm on the bass and drums respectively, ADF deliver a aural assault unto each listener.

Ok, I will begin by saying this: I personally dig the scream-sing combo in metal music. If you don't like screaming & singing, this is definitely not your cd. On with the review..

The album begins with a peaceful but ominous acoustic piece entitled "The Gift". It makes me examine the moon and the sky on the cover of the album. Then the opening chord of "Awake & Lifeless" rings out, and the fire starts to make its way into the picture. Then, everything kicks in, and the intensity leaves your head spinning. The fire now engulfs the entire cover (metaphorically of course). But when the chorus arrives, the fire moves to the right side of the picture and the music rests in an almost flawless medium of harmonious singing and head-kicking instrumentation. This album has a great mix of insane blistering screaming and melodious singing. The music is also very tight and technical, containing tasteful yet insane soloing and precise and hammering drums. I love the panning of the two guitars in "Idea & Some Rope" and there are some awesome technical beats, fills, & breakdowns in "The Cycle". But every song has something to offer, mind you.

The only reason the album doesn't get a full five stars from me is because as catchy, creative, and well-done as it is, it sounds like other metal albums/bands and therefore lacks originality. This album is a worthy purchase though, don't get me wrong. I don't think you would be disappointed.

I would have been lying if I had said I didn't have my preconceptions about this band. Once I heard the first song, their concept from fire burned all of mine. This is a very good cd on it's own recogniscence. It does kind of sound like everything else that is out there right now(Killswitch,Shadows Fall,Avenged Sevenfold(when they were good) but, these guys are pretty good musicians and they really do bring it. The title track and "The Cycle" are my favorite songs. The guitar riffing is spectacular and the drummer is insane and very Vinnie Paul influenced. Pretty good cd. If you don't have it then go and get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm Shocked, January 6, 2006

I was walking around in Walmart when this album caught my eye and I recognized the name from when they went on tour with GWAR (one of my favorite bands) so I figured why not? Lets givem a try. When I got home I quickly popped it in my cd player and was just shocked. Every song on this CD is very good (and listenable if your not a death-metal fan) So I would definately recommend givin this one a try.
